TAG F0 R 'TOBACCO.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,351, dated November8, 1881.

Application filed August 20, 1881. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it, known that I, FREDERICK E. HEINIG, of Louisville, Kentucky, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Tags for Tobacco, of which thefollowing is a clear, full, and exact description, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, inwhich Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved tag. Fig; 2 is. aview of a blank from which the tag is formed.

The object of my invention is to produce an attractive and cheaptobacco-tag which may present to the eye different colors; and itconsists in folding the material used for the tag so as to presentportions of each side of its dilfercut-colored faces at the same time.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, I willproceed to describe the tag complete. The blank A has its faces ofdifferent colors, at b, and when folded, as shown at B, both colors aredisplayed at the same time, The pointed ends a of thetag are bent downto form the fasteners. This makes an exceedingly attractive tag and onethat can be manufactured at trifling expense.

. Ido not confine myself to any particular de- I sign for the tag, asthis may be greatly varied without departing from the spirit of myinvention.

Having thus explained my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure hlyLetters Patent, is-

As an improved article of manufacture, a tobacco-tag havingdifferent-colored faces and folded so as to show both colors at the sametime, substantially as set forth.
